Today, Erika and Wendell will gather with loved ones at the beautiful Lorian Hotel in Alexandria, VA to renew their vows after 25 years of marriage.
In July of 2018, Erica woke up with terrible stomach pains. She had always dealt with stomach issues, so she didn’t think much of it. She was under 50 and wasn’t a candidate for annual colonoscopies yet. Eventually, the pain became too much to bear, and she was referred to a gastric doctor. She had a CT scan which revealed a blockage and a tumor. She was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. She underwent surgery and 9 difficult months of chemotherapy. Sadly, this past year her cancer spread. She is currently undergoing more treatment in hopes of slowing the spread of her disease.
